Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them:
Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, is the betrayer. His actions fulfill the prophecy found inPsalm 41:9, where a close friend turns against the psalmist. The arrangement of a signal indicates premeditation and a calculated betrayal. In the cultural context of the time, signals were often used in covert operations to ensure the correct person was identified, especially in a crowded or dark setting like the Garden of Gethsemane at night.

“The One I kiss is the man;
A kiss was a common greeting in Jewish culture, symbolizing respect and affection. Judas's use of a kiss as a signal for betrayal is particularly heinous, as it perverts a gesture of friendship into one of treachery. This act highlights the depth of Judas's betrayal, as he uses an intimate gesture to identify Jesus to His enemies. The kiss also serves as a stark contrast to the love and loyalty expected among Jesus's followers.

arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”
The instruction to arrest Jesus and lead Him away securely suggests that Judas and the authorities anticipated resistance or an attempt by Jesus's followers to prevent His capture. This reflects the tension and volatility of the situation, as Jesus was a well-known figure with a significant following. The phrase underscores the authorities' desire to ensure Jesus's capture without incident, highlighting their fear of public unrest or a potential uprising. This moment sets in motion the fulfillment of Jesus's own predictions about His suffering and death, as seen inMark 8:31 andMark 10:33-34.

Teaching Points

The Nature of Betrayal
Betrayal often comes from those closest to us. Judas, a disciple, used a sign of affection—a kiss—to betray Jesus. This teaches us to be discerning in our relationships and to seek wisdom in trusting others.

Fulfillment of Prophecy
Judas's actions were a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, demonstrating God's sovereignty and the reliability of Scripture. This encourages believers to trust in God's plan and His Word.

The Cost of Sin
Judas's betrayal for thirty pieces of silver highlights the danger of valuing material wealth over spiritual truth. Believers are reminded to prioritize their relationship with Christ over worldly gains.

Security in Christ
Despite the betrayal and arrest, Jesus remained in control, fulfilling His mission. This assures believers that even in times of trial, Christ is sovereign and His purposes will prevail.

Repentance and Forgiveness
Judas's account contrasts with Peter's denial and subsequent repentance. It serves as a reminder of the importance of repentance and the forgiveness available through Christ.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 44. -Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsosver I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely. Why was Judas so anxious that Christ should be secured? Perhaps because he feared a rescue, or because he feared lest our Lord should hide himself by an exercise of his miraculous power; and so Judas might lose the thirty pieces of silver.
